During the 1930s, in the shadows of grand Hollywood, a smaller group of less-than-prestigious studios – referred to as Poverty Row – fights for its own voice among the major players. The biggest of these studios is Columbia Pictures, founded by temperamental, foul-mouthed Harry Cohn. To lift Columbia from the depths of Poverty Row, Cohn partners with a former director of Sennett comedies, a young Italian named Frank Capra. Together, Cohn and Capra produce IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, starring up-and-comers Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. The film’s success immediately raises Harry Cohn to the ranks of the moguls and moves Columbia Pictures out of Poverty Row. The film goes on to win the top five Academy Awards, a feat that has only been matched twice since (by ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST in 1975 and THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS in 1991).
